Zen Mozaic 8GB, the same Album Art shows up on every f

My Zen Mozaic froze last Sunday but I brought it back to life using that wonderful reset button (or whatever it's called). It works as it should except for one thing - every single music file appears to belong to the same album. This might not have been an issue if it wasn't for the fact that I actually have more than one album on my player. Also, some of the tracks doesn't even belong to an album at all since I recorded them myself using Audacity. Thus, I am quite sure that something is wrong.
The background image when playing any file changes to this album image, and when I click the white button a few times to change to the playlist, the album image pops up again (as it normally should... If the song actually belonged to the album). The image used should normally only be present on one track though this one track, according to Creative Centrale, doesn't even have an album image. :smileyvery-happy:
I removed the song that naturally should have that album image, turned the player off and on again but the problem is still there. This never happened before the player froze. I attempted to bribe the player, but it didn't help either.
Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this?

In Album View Same Album Art Shows On Mulitiple Albums

Hi,
When I view my music collection in "album" view in itunes 11 many of the albums I have are using the same cover art, ie the album art from a single album is being incorrectly repeated across multiple albums.
This is not the case for all my albums as some have the correct album art showing.
In cases of albums were the incorrect artowrk shows in "album" view if I then go into "song" view and select the first song in the album and go into "get info" and then "Artwork" I can see that the incorrect album cover is showing. And this is the album art that is also used in the album view in itunes.
However, if I look at the second, or sometimes the third song in the album in "get info" "artwork" the correct artwork is actually showing.
So it looks like somehow itunes has taken one randon album cover and applied it to the first song of many of my albums, but left the correct artwork for the remaining songs of an album.
So the correct artwork is still "there" but it is only applied to the second and following songs of an album.
I have hundreds of albums in tiunes and am hoping for a slick way to fix this. As slick as Apples advertising. I would prefer not to have to have to spend a weekend moving files around so simple is good.
I have tried to delete all the cover art files and the get artwork again but same thing happens.
May thanks in advance.

Thanks for you help turingtest2.
I have searced for that file and I get it twice in the same folder. one of the files has a date stamp appended to it 2013-01-25 (todays date).
I copied both files to another folder and moved the album artwork folder to the same folder.
I then restarted itunes. I did not have to request any artwork and the original artwork was still there (incorrectly). It did not seem like anything was downloaded as itunes opened quick and when i selected album view it went to there without delay automatically with the artwork there.
The album artwork folder was recreated in the itunes folder.
I did a search for the *.itc files and it seems the old moved album artwork folder contained may more *.itc files than were recreated in "recreated" album artwork folder. Not sure if that means anything.
Hmmm.

Why does iTunes display the same album art for different songs, but from the same artist?

Hi,
a couple of days ago I decided I wanted all of my songs to have an album art. Before I didn't actually care, but since I discovered the view mode with the album arts at the top (the fourth one) I began searching for the right arts, since I like it this way.
I've stumbled upon a problem though. When I add two or more songs from the same artist, iTunes chooses to assign the same album art to the songs. It chooses the album art of the song I added first to my music library. How do I get it to show the proper album art?
I use a program called 'Mp3Tag' to change all the information of my songs. When it's just a single, I end up having an 'artist', 'title', 'genre' and 'cover'. The rest of the information doesn't bother me. With albums I add more information though.
Here's an example:
I added two songs, one being 'Usher - Climax (Kaskade Remix)' and the other one being 'Usher - Scream'. The one added first was 'Scream'. As you can see below, iTunes somehow assigns the same album art to both songs, while clicking on 'get info' clearly shows the songs have different album arts.
I discovered something else though:
When adding an 'album name' to the songs, they will show properly, as seen below. The thing is though, I don't want to add an album name. When I sync the songs to my iPod, my 'albums' list will show all of the songs as well, which I don't want.
Is there any way to solve this another way where iTunes won't sort by album, but by song title?
Thanks in advance.

Can anyone please answer my question?

Windows Media Player in Windows 7 displays the same album art picture for nearly all songs!

Hello,
I have just installed Windows 7 Home Premium as a clean install on my PC. I then imported all my music files back onto the PC and opened up Windows Media Player and found that probably 95% of the songs have the same album cover (Timbaland - Shock Value) against them, instead of how thety were before (either the correct album art, or no album art at all). Does anybody have any ideas what is going on here as it is pretty annoying that nearly every song has the same album art cover.
If anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful.
Thanks,
Ian

Hi Parkesian,
I would like to suggest you reset the database for Windows Media Player 12 to check the issue.
Clear the Windows Media Player database
========================================
1. Close Windows Media Player.
2. Press Win + R to open Run, copy "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Media Player" (without the quotation marks) to the Open box and press Enter.
3. In the Media Player folder, delete all of the files.
Note that it is not necessary to remove the folders that are also in this folder.
4. Restart Windows Media Player.
At this point Windows Media Player will automatically rebuild the database.
What’s the result?

Songs with the same album art not grouped together in iTunes for Windows

Brand new iTunes user here - do not yet have an iPod! (Needed some music only on iTunes)
When I first started up iTunes, it imported all of my music I already had on my computer. A few of them are soundtracks with different artists.
When they are shown in the iTunes library, the soundtracks have been broken up by Artist instead of staying as a whole album. How do I get the songs back together as one album? I found the folder on my computer where they are stored and combined them there, but they are still separate in the iTunes library.
Thanks from a total newbie!

Mark the tracks on the album as "Part of a compilation" and fill in the Album Artist field as "Various Artists". Click on the first track of your album to highlight it, hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight everything in between. Right click on the selection and choose Get Info. You'll get a message asking if you want to edit multiple items, say yes. If you are using iTunes 8 in the box that opens go to the Options tab and change "part of a compilation" to Yes and choose OK.
Also in your library click on the title bar of album column to bring all the tracks in the same album together. If you keep clicking in the title you can choose it to sort by Album, Album by Artist or Album by Year. Clicking on the little triangle on the right side of the column header changes the sort direction. Pointing up and the column is sorted in Ascending order (A to Z). Pointing down and the column is sorted in Descending order (Z to A).

How can I display a compilation album as one album rather than as separate songs? (each different artist shows with the same album art)

I want a compilation album, consisting of different artists, to all be included within the one album folder. Currently when scrolling through my ipod classic each artist has its own album folder, even though they originate from the same album e.g. "The Best Rock 'n' Roll Album in the World Ever" consists of two discs (50 songs). Each artist's song shows as a 'separate album' of one song, each with the same album artwork. I want all of those on Disc 1 to be under one album cover and similarly for those on Disc 2.

Select all the tracks on disc 1 and via Get Info, change the Album Artist to Various Artists and turn on the compilation flag. This is iTunes 12:
Then repeat for disc 2.

"Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?" - Take 2

I've done all the tricks suggested in the doc nu 304389.
I still have some albums splitted in 2 or 3 versions with the same cover art and different songs on each version... How to regroup the rebels??

I've found the solution:
There is sometimes a useless blank space at the end of the name of an album.
Edit the information: in the album field, remove an eventual blank space at the end of the name of the album by backspacing...
Et voilà!

How do I consolidate multiple displays of the same album art

When I import music into my music library, I see multiple album displays for songs in the same album. How do I consolidate all to one album display?

Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things, if not see Grouping tracks into albums.

When I copied my cd collection to my iTunes account, I use the view by CD option in the viewer. How can I get songs from the same album to show nder the same view, instead of making it a separate thing?

How can i fix this problem with songs from the same album, not being organized under the same when they are from the same CD?

Thank you... just read up on iTunes Match. That stinks, paying a yearly thing... but I understand everyone has to make a dollar. I think I'm better off just picking the best songs out of my collection storing them on my computer or iPhone then selling my CD's to some used CD place. If I ever really want to hear a song there are multiple options and if I want it... the .99 to 1.29 option is always there.
Thank you for the information

How can I quickly get the same album art for all tracks on an album without manually doing them one at a time?

I am having trouble with album art linked to each track. My library is ripped from my own cd's and ITunes only provides some of the artwork from a find artwork search. The rest must be found and added one at a time manually from web. This process is tedious and time consuming for me. Is there a file in iTunes related to each album that I can just drop the art once and it shows up linked to all the tracks from that album when they play? I've tried selecting all songs from an album and dragging the artwork to the artwork window once in hopes of all tracks getting the artwork at the same time with no luck. Any advice for this paltry artwork dilemma would be appreciated. If Cassidy & Greene still owned this ******* child of SoundJam I know I would not be having this problem! HaHa...Thanks for any advice/help with this problem.

Thx 4 quick reply alexbird. Your method will work and after a little experimenting so will this: Just go to the album art view option and highlight the album you want artwork for. Drag the artwork from your album art web search page to bottom left hand album art window in iTunes and just drop it there. A small progress window then appears showing each album track adopting the dropped artwork one by one. It only takes 10-15 seconds for all of the tracks on your album to adopt the new artwork. I then went back and removed unwanted artwork(from the albums that had it) track by track from the get info menu. This goes pretty quick as you just pick track>get info>artwork>highlight art>delete>ok for each track.
This drag/drop to the album art view page has been the simplest and most effective way I have discovered to manually import album artwork into iTunes so far. Hope this helps someone else out there. Any other methods or suggestions to do this task added to this thread will be duly noted. Thx... Oh, I am currently using iTunes 10.5.1

Why is my 7th Generation Ipod Nano not placing music in the same album?

But to be more specific.
Let's say I've bought a music album from iTunes.
All the music is in the same album.
But there is this other song I've downloaded and I want to put it on that same album.
On my ipod, for some reason, they are on separate albums.
And yes, I've put ALL songs under the same album name.
(I know this isn't a big deal but I'd like to shuffle the album with all the songs together.)

Hi TheBigWhiteGun,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Even if the album name in the same, if the artist or "album artist" is different, it still might not show under the same album.
Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1468
There are three reasons why songs from the same album may not be grouped together
The album names of the songs may differ slightly
The songs from the same album may have different artists
Not all songs in the album have the same "Album Artist" assigned to it
See if that works for you.
Best Regards,
Nubz

Multiple Appearances of the same album artwork

I was just wondering if there's any way to fix the way my album artwork is showing in the view with the artwork and songs listed at the same time. If I pull in one song at a time to import, it shows the artwork each time something is imported, instead of just showing it once for the whole album. Any way to fix this?

Mistake?
Yes, indeed. That can happen when you have several windows open and paste the URL from the wrong one.
Sorry for that.
Here is the correct one:

Why does iTunes show tracks that I've ripped from a single CD as individual tracks with individual albums all with the same album name?

I've looked all the data about each track in terms of album name and other seemingly relevant pieces of stuff, but whenever I look at my songs by albums, it still shows these tracks individually. It's like the same album is repeated over and over instead of the album appearing once with all the tracks listed beneath it.

You can edit the "metadata" of the tracks in the cloud just as you would if the tracks were physically on your computer. Hightlight the tracks of the album you want to edit, do a Get Info..., edit "metadata," click OK.

Hello, I have songs that show they are "Waiting" for download from the cloud but they are greyed out. Some songs in one album are done others in the same album will not download. It is not a time function because i have been working on this for weeks. I have allowed my compter to run for days and the songs are still not accessible. I have a Match subscription and Match is working. If I click on the "Genre" link the greyed out songs show that they are ready for download from the cloud but I cannot download them. I have downloaded over 1500 other songs, so I am trying to understand what is going on here. I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
Thanks

I did think about that and if I have to I will do that, however there are about 50 songs. I have closed and reopened iTunes several times and I am sure that I have the latest version. It fails right away but I can click on the cloud download icon and download the song that it failed on ... therefore it is not that song "or any one song" causing the issue. Any ideas?

HT1451 How do I consolidate album songs in my itunes library? The songs are showing up separately under the same album cover.

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
BTW, are you really still using Windows 2000?
